Mechanisms of physical-biological-biogeochemical interaction at the oceanic mesoscale

DJ McGillicuddy Jr - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

The oceanic vertical pump induced by mesoscale and submesoscale turbulence

P Klein, G Lapeyre - Annual review of marine science, 2009 - annualreviews.org
The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …

Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale

M Lévy, R Ferrari, PJS Franks… - Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
